Balanced advantage funds invest in a mix of stocks, debt, and arbitrage opportunities. These funds decide their equity exposure depending on key market ratios or in-house parameters. They invest less in stocks when the market is very high or valuations are stretched. They invest more in equity when stocks are available at attractive valuations. In short, BAFs do the job of juggling equity exposure for investors. Sure, these funds limit equity exposure based on valuations, but that doesn't make them totally safe. Don’t be under the illusion that balanced advantage funds are a safe investment. In fact, many mutual fund distributors make such claims. However, don’t be influenced by such talk. Any mutual fund scheme that invests in stocks can’t be considered as safe. It also cannot avoid volatility and losses totally. So, invest in balanced advantage funds only if you can tolerate the risk of investing in stocks. Also, invest only if you have an investment horizon of at least five years.
